Ahh so this new gem didn't sit there a few weeks before I found it by accident !! Beautiful. Been a great day for music. The 4th week of Advent and my wife and I were treated tonight at Mass to a magnificent Ave Maria done with Harmonies that gave me goose bumps, then I find this.... You have added very nicely to this Christmas season !! Boun Natale a te e alla tua famiglia, fratello :-)

@@oldfaithfulcovers Just some additional comments. I have dabbled in doing covers of tunes as you do, for years now. While I have posted a few on You Tube I would never have the courage to set up a You Tube channel as you have to showcase them most of them. Given the difference in the quality between your work, and mine perhaps what I lack in courage, I make up for in wisdom!! 🙂 Having said that, I've been recently struggling to come up with a new tune to cover. Your two recent Christmas tune posts and your comment about an "imaginary unreleased Byrds Christmas LP", have given me some new ideas. A bit late for this Christmas but this world can use a lot more Christmas Spirit all year long !! :-)). Thanks OFC!!!

My videos are merely a way to present my cover recordings. The music takes me between 30 and 40 hours per song to produce. Since it's a one man operation (mostly), all parts on the videos are mimed. Not all parts are represented. Time spent on videos is time not spent on recording music, which is far more important to me. Glad you're liking the channel..

I am sorry, I did not mean this as a criticism. It was just an observation. But I am very glad you replied. As I said, good cover. This song is an anthem to those who died on the Edmund Fitzgerald. Gordon Lightfoot became very good friends with the families, almost a part of their families, attending many reunions with them. I saw Lightfoot in concert a number of times, the earliest in 1967, in Hamilton Ontario. His music always brings back many fond memories. Keep up the great work. As previously said, I love your cover of Goin' Home, another great tune.
